MakiBox shipping beta boxes; new store is ready

MakiBox announced its new store and new model for holidays. All existing backers will be asked to select their final order details and will be able to choose a combination of material and printer.

Makibox has come a long way since its crowd funding launched in January. At this stage they are testing firmware with host software trying to improve the print quality. The latest test print was a printrboard case, it is with the Alpha 00 unit and prototype filament drive. 0.4mm nozzle, 0.4mm layer height. Watch the video below.

Makibox is working on the final updates of AlphaBox and preparing for sending out the Beta units. If it goes smoothly, Makibox will then start production on the backorders.
